Dohop expands flight search capability
Flights search engine dohop.com has been upgraded to cover more services.
The flight schedule database by has been increased by 3.5 million long haul flights, bringing the total to 33 million flights spanning a period of 14 months.
Dohop now searches more than 660 scheduled airlines. It calculates the best routes and connections for almost 3,500 airports worldwide. It then provides links to airlines and online travel agents where the latest price and flights can be checked and booked.
The upgrade follows a strategic investment by Cheapflights in January.
Other improvements see the flight search function speeded up to provide an almost instant schedule of flights between chosen airports.
A new “Add to my trip” function can be used to save flight segments, making it easier to mix and match flights from multiple searches to plan complicated multi-city trips around the world.
A new mapping feature powered by Google Maps traces selected flight routes on a world map.
Cheapflights’ vice chairman and head of international Hugo Burge said: “We are impressed with the way that the dohop team have implemented these improvements to what was already a remarkable site. This is a perfect tool for those who need to know precise flight times, routes and availability from anywhere to anywhere else.”
Frosti Sigurjonsson, CEO of dohop.com, said: “The latest site release makes dohop a very complete flight planner – It is now probably the most comprehensive flight search engine in the world as well as the fastest. People can save both time and money by researching their flights on dohop.com.
“The backing from Cheapflights has enabled us to accelerate our product development efforts. We are looking forward to releasing a plethora of new features in the upcoming weeks and months.”
